"Very fine people..."
-
Took Snopes 7 years to figure this out.

This part was pretty funny:
Editors' Note: Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. That is not the case. This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false. For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded that it was conceived of, led by and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump was wrong.
Snopes is essentially saying that if you were against the removal of the statues then you are white supremacists by default.
The store I run is located on “Lee Highway”. Two years ago, Fairfax County changed the name to “Route 29” . We, along with every other business we know of on the road, advertise our address as “Lee Highway”. Does that make us de facto white supremacists?

Fairfax County changed the name
I usually used Route 50 or Route 29 instead of Lee Jackson Memorial Highway.
I don't like the name change, but that is how I knew the street names.
For me, the Costco was on Route 50, not Lee Jackson Memorial Highway. I just checked, it is actually at 14390 Chantilly Crossing Ln.
And then when you get out past Costco , Route 50 is Little River Turnpike and John Mosby (A Confederate General!) Highway.

I’ve always called it Route 50, too, and 28 is 28, not Sully Rd. But, for whatever reason 29 is almost always Lee Highway, 286 is Fairfax County Parkway, and it’s Georgetown Pike…
